JP Morgan Chase has told staff moving into its new headquarters in New York that they must share their biometric data to access the multibillion-dollar building.

The investment bank had previously planned for the registering of biometric data by employees at its new Manhattan skyscraper to be voluntary.

However, employees of the US’s biggest bank who have started work at the headquarters since August have received emails saying that biometric access was “required”, according to communications seen by the Financial Times.

Well, I do. But it's because the security layers on the wifi are more strict than on the VPN to such a degree that I can't actually connect to it from my work laptop.

If you can connect to the company vpn from the companies WiFi, they’ve configured their networks wrong.

Not quite like that. There is an internal wifi that I can't get onto, and a public "guest" wifi that half of the tech staff uses and VPNs from.

Basically the protected wifi only really works on locked-down windows machines, and those aren't usable for most developers. It's mostly mac and linux there, and while the protected wifi is supposed to work on those, the IT staff don't know how.

Ah. That makes more sense.
